Here is a collection of Musical Tesla Coils! We have featured lots of cool Tesla Coils here before, and a few musical ones but there seems to be a new trend to play music with the spark output. The first video is by the guys at The Geek Group, they go over the basics of how it works, there are lots of cool examples of the circuit at work after the jump.

I wonder when we will see these nondirectional electronic discharge sound generators go on store shelves?

Wow …its not that hard to modulate a high frequency transformer tesla coil to produce high picth sounds,but i still dont see how it is possible to create low frequency(bassy sounds) ,with the arc,is the bass maybe a result of the secondary coil mechanically oscillating like a SPEAKER ?

I’m 100% certain they’re not fake, as you sometimes see & hear the plasma jumping about.
